A recent poll shows that a large proportion of high school students want government control of the press:
Apparently the First Amendment ought to be made required reading in U.S. high schools. A new survey of 112,003 students released today finds that one in three say the press ought to be more restricted -- and 36% think newspapers should get "government approval" before stories are published.This is troubling, but not quite surprising. This is an age when so many kids take a government bus to a government school, where they receive their federally-subsidized breakfast, lunch, condoms, and faulty "education." With so much of their lives run by the government, is it any wonder they immediately look to government to rule the marketplace of ideas, too?
